Low-migration UV Printing Inks for Primary Food Packaging

Based on recent developments, Zeller+Gmelin has introduced a new generation of low-migration UV printing inks available for primary food packaging. In addition to high safety in relation to migration, the ink series has low taste and smell free attributes.

The Zeller+Gmelin low-migration ink series meet the requirements set for labelling and flexible packaging materials both on paper and foil carriers.

It is proven by analytical results that, by professionally appropriate use of the inks, the migration limit of 10 ppb may be easily reached (migration test – using 95% ethyl alcohol).

Analytical Laboratory

Zeller+Gmelin uses its own analytical laboratory that has been established specifically for development of low-migration inks, quality control of raw materials, and internal assessment of test samples. The analysis of migration-related ink properties is carried out with gas chromatograph (GC-MS), liquid chromatograph (HPLC-MS), and the related mass spectrometry.

Naturally, the low-migration ink series produced by Zeller+Gmelin are tested and assessed by independent institutes.

This double verification provides the highest possible product safety to printing offices, customers, and users. It is proven by the results of many analyses that, by professionally appropriate use of the inks, the specified migration limit of 10 ppb may be reached, and even exceeded (migration test – using 95% ethyl alcohol).
